"Use of non-edible items, physical activity, and academic pursuits will be the expectation for fundraisers. If edible items are used for fundraisers, items will be consistent with the current USDA guidelines for Americans, Smart Snacks Guidelines, and Federal Register, while following food safety regulations."
